Which couples are entitled to sheva brochos?
A couple will qualify for seven days of sheva brochos following their marriage, when either the chosson or kallah is marrying for the first time. If, however, both individuals were previously married, regardless of whether their respective marriages ended in divorce or in the death of a spouse, sheva brochos are recited only on the wedding day or, according to some authorities, at the first meal following the marriage, even if the wedding day has passed. (If the chosson was previously married, and the kallah-although never married-is not a virgin, sheva brochos are likewise recited on the wedding day or at the first meal only.
